      It depends on which “them” is being referred to in OP’s comment. Assuming “them” are the protesters, then the answer provides what the protesters said, or at least what the organisation they represented said.

        Assuming “them” are the protesters

        Why would you assume that? It was obviously asking about what comment the politicians have made, from the fact that they were asking about whether “they” had commented “on the reason for the protest, or just the act”.

            Yes, it’s very easy to make a bad faith argument if you just randomly pull quotes, rather than actually looking at context.
